Mangroves take the hit [1]

Rahi Gaikwad

Mumbai: Mangroves near the Elephanta Island in the Mumbai harbour and those near Vashi in Navi Mumbai were found to be affected on Wednesday, after merchant vessel MSC Chitra collided with MV Khalijia-III, leading to a massive oil spill in the Arabian Sea off Mumbai. There is, however, no estimate of the scale of the damage.
